The following paragraphs, from letter
written by missionary OF the American
Board in Syria, dated September 4th, show
that the troubles of the Turks in Syria are
increasing:
Yusef keGam is not yet caught, and is still
making trouble in Northern Lebanon, so that
il is not safe to visit the cedars this seasons
There is mystery about the conduct of the
Turkish officials in allowing him to run at
large SO long which we cannot xplain.
Ten days ago the Turkish garrison at Boz
ran. in Southern Houran, suddenly pounced
upon the encampment Of the Amazy Arabs
(who were living near them in peace and
promised security and plundered the encamps
ment killing men and driving off their en-
tire herds and flocks. The Arabs appealed TO
Ismaeel el Atrosh, the prince of the Druses,
for aid. Ismaeel went to the Turkish com>
mander and demanded the restoration of the
plumber, stating that part OF it belonged to
himself, and it must be given peaceably or
forcibly. The Turks refused. The Druses
few to arms, and, with the Arabs, defeated
the Turks, killing sixty of the Turkish sol.
diers.
This news has Just reached us through a
friendly Druse Shiehh IN this village. lie
says that the road to Houran is now cut of SO
that the Huaran wheat has ceased TO come
into Damascus, and the price of bread stutfs
has risen The Turkish General at Damascus
has set out for Houran to try and settle the
affair.
And so it goes. Crete is in insurrection-
Yusem kefam has been deiying the Turks
for nine months, and though once apparently
crushed, was not caught, and Is still making
trouble The Houran affair may draw of
Turkish troops and may cost the Turks more
Of men and money than they can afford TO
spare Just now Yet this part Of Syria is
very quiet. We have had no cholera, and
the public health is good. Our congrega
tons have been large all summer long.

Horrible wtfe-Murder In Tams County.
In the county Of Tama, Buckingham
township, on the sih instant, occurred one Of
the most brutal and atrocious murders which
has been committed during this year ofcrime.
The particulars, as given by the Toledo
Transcript, are as follows:
"The victim was Mrs. Charlotte Felter,
wife of Abraham Feter, who resided on his
farm, about a mile from Buckingham village.
We can only say that the first intlmation of
the horrible deed was given by his little
daughter, who is about seven years of age.
She ran to one of the neighbors and told
them, in substance, of the preparation of the
deed. ana that the house was on fire. An
alarm was given, and party was collected,
who proceeded to the residence. They found
Mrs. Felter lying by the door, and manged
in an awful manner--her head literally pound
ed to pieces. and her body awiully burned by
the flames, and Felter himself lying between
the hay stacks, with his throat cut 1t APP
pears some difficulty had taken place between
them, which resulted in his numbering her by
beating her brains out with his gun, as the
lock Of the gun was found under her. 1t is
supnosed he then fred the dwelling, and at
tempted to destroy her body by dragging it
into the fire, which he partially succeeded in
doing, but was obliged to desist, owing TO the
intense heat Seeing large party coming,
and knowing the terror Of the law, he made
a desperate attempt to end his own miserable
life by cutting bis throat, but owing to the
dullness Of his knife failed in severing the
iugu!ar vein. Upon rousing him be ex-
claimed, For Gods sake, don't murder
me.
The Coroner summoned q jury, who, upon
investigation, returned a verdict In accord
ance with the above facts.
The miserable wretch declined to make any
statement, in regard to the crime, and was
committed to answer the charge Of wilfu
murder.

PUBLIC OPINION IN MEMPHIS ON
THE BEAUMONT.

Fr0m the Memphis Commercial, Sth,l
The general subject Of conversation on the
streets yesterday, was the BEAUMoNT-LIP-
ARI-OIsHIE case. The indictment of the
former by the Grand Jury re-Opened this
rather dirty business, with the details of
which our readers are familiar through the
evidence as published in our columns. Some
Of our citizens are "down" on BEAUMONT
any way, and are inclined TO believe him
the sum ofall villainies y others view him
as a novice in detective and police business
taken in and done for by his shrewder de-
tectives; while others give him credit for
general honesty ofpurpose, but believe that
he has in this case, committed a grave Of
fense-a misdemeanor in ordinary persons
but a "h5gh crime" in an official occupying
the responsible position of Chief Commits
siOner Of Police.
This is about the belief of the majority of
our thinking people, most Of whom confess
themselves amazed at the amount of deep
seated rascality brought to light by the in
vestigation before Justice HALL II was also
a very GENERALLY expressed opinion that the
Attorney General was remiss in his duty In
that he has not caused the arrest and in
dictment of LIPARI by his own confession
and the evidence adduced on the trial be-
fore HALL, criminal of no ordinary char
acter Then the political complexion of the
cesspool, composed of equal parts of new
and old police, came in for a share of the
'talk," and opinions unfavorable to both,
especially the old, we're freely expressed. Ii
was thought the Metropolitan system was an
improvement on the old police, aud the only
objection urged against it was the occupan-
cy Of the chief positions by Radicals. The
part the Sheriff and Attorney General have
taken in the matter was also variOusly COM
mented upon, and surprise expressed that
they were not equally prompt in arresting
the vagabonds who were convicted OF crime
and with whom BEAUMONT has compounded.

JEFFERSON Davis.


The New York Tribune, after discussing
the unnecessary delay in the trial of Mr.
DAVIS, adds:
The upshot of all this is, that the prisoner
is net tried, nor likely to be; and that, il
tried, he is morally certain not to be con
victed if convicted, not to be punished.
There are still many persons who would
like TO have him exeeuted but there is not
one intelligent man on earth who has the
iaintest notion that he ever will be- For,
though governments sometimes infiIct capital
punishment on conspicuous rebels, they
never, at least in modern times, do so long
after their rebellion was suppressed. Aus
tria, in iS49, put 10 death thirteen Of the
Hungarian leaders betrayed into her hands
by the miscreant GoRGEY; but she tried
them by drumhead court-martial directly
after their surrender, and had them all
hanged and buried within forty-eight hours.
Had she waited eighteen months, and then
executed them, she would have invoked the
execrations Of all Christendom.
Since il is notorious that DAVIS is not to
be punished. why is he still kept awaiting
trial which he alona seems to DESIRE and
which he can by no means obtain What
good end is subserved by persisting in a
menace which still serves 20 irritate, though
il no longer appalls?

THE DOCTRINE OF STATE SUICIDE.

REvERDY JOHNSON made the following
points against the Radical doctrine of State
suicide in a recent speech in Maryland:
1. Congress recognizes the seeding States
as States by the resolutions of July %, 1861.
2. By the act assigning them their quota
of representatives.
3. By the assent given, as required by the
Constitution, to the division Of Virginia;
and in this connection is the fact that opin-
ions affirming the validity and constitution
ality Of this act were given by all of Mr.
LNcoLN's Cabinet, including Chief Justice
CHASE.
f. BY the act apportioning taxation
amongst the States, and another extending
the time of payment in the South.
8. BY the provision for the salaries Of
judges, marshals, district attorneys, and
other officers.
6. BY the readjustment at the last session
Of the judicial circuits.
Again, the judicial department is COM
mitted to their recognition as States
/. BY including them in their distribu-
ton Of the judicial circuits made during
the insurrection.
>. BY hearing and deciding cases on ap-
peal to a writ Of error from the courts of
such States.
The President is committed to it by his
approval of the various acts Of Congress re-
ferred 10. .. BY the appointment of Of
fcials for these States, and the Senate by
confirming toappointments and by admitting
the Senators from West Virginia.

eREEuEr on gOIlN moRnIssEr.

| GREELEY wrote a characteristic article
! the day before the election on JOHN NOR
RTssEY. Omitting some of its personalities
in regard TO others, we copy it. The Ti1-
bune evidently is not much shocked by Mr.
MoRRIssEY's election to Congress, and does
not believe the distinguished ex-champion
Of the Ring to be so very bad, after all. The
Tribune says:
''Mr MoRRIssEY is an eminent and infu-
entail leader Of the Democratic party, and a
member Of its General Committee. He is Its
regularly nominated candidate for Congress,
with moral certainty Of election. He has
bled like an OK in its behalf, 50 that JOHN T.
HoFFMAN's vote will be at least 10000
larger than it would have been but for Mr.
MoRRIssEY's money. Then why do not
HoFFMAx and his crowd stand up for their
candidate like men? If he is good enough
TO pay the cost Of running their machine,
why not to be fairly recognized as their can
didate?
"We have not the honor Of Mr.. MORRIS
sEY's personal acquaintance; but, from COM
mon report we judge that he is better than
some ofthe candidates usually presented
run lduiuldug AAdlis anu hot ~ SOOu -
Others while he is a striking representative
Of the largest and most influential section Of
the party, next to that composed of specula-
tors and municipal robbers, to which he
does not belong. The narrow, fanat;cal no
tions imbibed with our New England edu-
cation would not permit us to contemplate
with rapture Congress composed entirely
Of MoRRIssEYs; but the sending Of one such
as a specimen brick of our Metropolitan
Democracy, we contemplate with unmingled
satisfaction Mr. MoRRIssEY, we are as
sured has abandoned the prize ring forever;
but his right hand has not forgot its cum
ming, nor his left either, and if any South |
ern bully should undertake to put upon
him. that bully will get polished off in
about five seconds and we shall heartily |
say, Good for New York hit him again |
And as to the Washington tiger that beast
which gets hold Of so many of our verdant |
members Of Congress, and strips them of |
money, principle character and self-respect, |
driving them to do the dirty work Of the |
Lobby, vote for extra compensation, for |
crooked mileage, etc, all we have to say is,
let that tiger try nip with our JOHN, and
if he don't suddenly take to his heels squeel-
ing and yelling, then we can't make Yam
kee guess"

ARNELIsS SUCCESSOR IN THE LIZ
GISLATURE.

The Conservatives Of Williamson, Maury
and Lewis counties have nominated NAT
w. JONES to fill the seat lately occupied by
ARSELL in the Legislature. In an address
to the people, he thus soundly states his po-
sition:
/. l recognize the issue involved in the
late war as practically settled-that the good
men Of all parties accept the results Of that
unfortunate civil strife, and earnestly desire
the speedy return Of substantial peace, and
restoration Of our former prosperity. l
believe that the great masses Of the people,
North and South, are honest and patriotic.
that their interests are in harmony and not
in disOord, and that il is only ambitious and
bad men, governed solely by selfish consid-
erations, who are disposed 10 keep the coun-
try distracted, and risk all the evils Of an
other civil war.
However much / may have differed with
the majority Of the people Of this district
upon the recent grave issues, believe them
20 have been honest and patriotic, aud
know them TO beiutelligent and Trustworthy.
They are my own neighbors, kindred and
friends. Their blood courses through my
veins. We have grown up under the same
auspices. Their future is my future, and |
expect to share with them whatever is the
common heritage of the political family TO
which we belong. Entertaining these views,
IL follows as a matter Of course that am
opposed 70 the present disfranchising laws
and every species Of legislation which is in
tended TO distract the country and prevent
that happy restoration 90 our former condi-
ton of peace and good will, so much desired,
and the value Of which cannot be over-esti-
mated.
IL. | am an earnest friend and supporter
Of the President and desire the success Of
ihepolicy adopted by him 70 heal the wounds
inflicted upon the whole country by the re-
cent civil war.
III. | am opposed 10 negro suffrage This
Government is that Of the white man, by
whom il should be administered. Negro
suffrage in Tennessee would induce the inn
migration Of the clorored people here, and
the emigration Of the white man away; and
can not consent 10 any policy that will drive
the white man from his home, 10 make way
for the negro, and is thisnot Radical policy?
~. I am opposed 10 all measures that
tend 10 bring the races into political and so-
cial equality. Il is unjust aud dangerous 10
both.
V. / shall advocate such measuresas shall
promote your local wealth and prosperity /;
and in this general pledge, ] recognize the
first step in its redemption, to be a reduc-
ton Of taxes. Our people are groaning un-
der the weight Of taxes, unnecessarily high I;
and if the measures adopted by our present
rulers in the State, are continued in force
yoGt taxes will be increased Economy ia
the public expenditures-reduction in taxes
the restoration Of peace and harmonv-no
negro suhrage-no con6scation-R0 more
sour; but a reunited Union, are the pledges
submit for your approval and endorsement
Fellow-citizens viii you require my eppo-
nent 10 be equally a. explicit7
