the /. an Vellens, by trade a carpenter, had
beer lodging at the Sussex hotel, London.
Of late his condition has been miserable in
the extreme. His absence for some days
had been remarked, and to ascertain the
cause the door of the mans room was forced
open, when the lifeless body of Vellens was
seen partially lying or form, face upwards,
with one leg hanging down, and the head

dry clothed blood, from which ii is supposed
that the act was committed nearly week
since. The arrangements for effecting his
own death must have taken the deceased
some time to accomplish. The door of the

The poor fellow had employed Ratchet

but finding the leverage not suited to his
purpose he made another higher up the
handle This he fixed to the bed post by a
screw, and piece of strong rope was then
procured, to which was attached a heavy
stone. The rope was then thrown over thu
cupboard door--the end being fastened on
the one side and the stone hanging over the
other. He must then have placed himself
on his back on the form, raised the hatchet,
and put his head so as to meet it when it
fell. In this position he cut the rope with
the razor, and the stone falling on the

and claims that he can substantiate it by
hundreds of responsible citizens in Hender-
son county, Tenn The substance of the
original article is given as follows:
Miss Darden was, beyond ali question,
the largest man in the world, at least since
the days when there were giants in the
land. His height was seven feet six inches
two inches higher than Porter, the Ken
lucky giant. His weight was a fraction
over one thousand pounds. He measured
around the waist six feet and four inches,
and it took one hundred feet of plank to
make his coffin He was IS years old when
he died, full of humor and possessed of fine
sense, though very sensitive on the subject

principle of action is g rule or ruin"
The Democratic party is notsectional, but
is coeXtensive with the Union itself. Its
mission is not to destroy, but to restore con-
cord and fraternity, and to resist all en-
crOachments, from whatever quarter they may
come, upon the Constitution and the liber-
critics Of the people.
This is the great work we propose to &C
complish. To these noble and patriotic pur
poses we invite the cooperation of every
patriot throughout our country.

visitor to all those who feel interest in the
prosperity and welfare of our country as whole,
and the perpctuity of our institutions, as handed
down to us by our noble ancestry, Federal Re-
publican Government.
Our people have but lately emerged from a
gigantic civil war, waged by and between sections
of a once glorious Union, and more desolating to
our particular section than anything that has ever
happened on this continent, and it is to be hoped
While there is life there is hope, and notwith-
standing the great changes wrought by the late
civil war, We shall encourage the people to hon,
esty, industry and economy, we shall take special
pains to keep them posted with all beneficial i'm
provements of the age, so that they may once
more enjoy bountiful stores, prosperity and hap
piness.
We shall from time to time publish such laws,
buth State and National our people are direct
ly concerned in, and shall likewise use our ntiu-
ence to establish sound circulating currency, SO
much needed at the present time.
We shall be governed by principles and not
men, for according to our honest conviction, the
present condition of our country is owing to the
abandonment of principles, we mean the ADAM
donment of those fundamental principles upon
which the Government of the United States was
reared.
We shall favor and encourage the development
of all our resources, Agricultural, Mineral, &C.,
and likewise such internal improvements as will
most likely be beneficial to the country, and
especially the extension of the Wilmington, Char
lotte and Rutherford Railroad west.
