MOTHER MURDERS HER chill

A MOTHER MURDERS HER CHILD
The Wheeling Intelli9encer of Wednes-
day the 5th inst.,says: Yesterday it was
discovered that most sickenIng tragedy
had been enacted on Tuesday at the Pack
er Hotel, opposite our Office. A married
woman, named Minnie Nugent, came to
this city from Marietta and stopped at
the hotel on Tuesday morning. She had
with her little child, whom she called
j Jennie, about three and half years old.
The woman did not appear at the supper
table on Tuesday evening. Nothing was
thought of this. Bat as she did not
make her appearance yesterday, inyesti-
cations were set on foot in the evening,
which resulted in the disclosure of the
horrible fact that the woman had mur-
dered her child aud then attempted to
end her own life, first with the dagger
which she had used on the child, and
secondly by taking opium. The author
tiles were made acquainted with the case,
and the woman was taken into custody
and lodged in Jail. -,

Another Emancipation PrOcla-
q nation Wanted.


Somebody suggests that in view of the
abject, cringing servitude of Raymond to
the Radicals, an emancipation proclama
tion be issued for his freedom.
This is we'll enough as far as it goes,
but Thad. Stevens should, at the same
time, emancipate Plants and fifty or sixty
more of bis "House servants"
Or, what would be still better, as this
means was used to free the Negroes from
the service Of the whites, by all means
let a proclamation nov be issued to free
the whites from degrading servitude to
the Negroes.

A dreadful murder was committed in
Hopewell Township, near West Middle

day night, the 4th inst. 1t seems that a
man named Robert Fogle was one of the
murderers, and has confessed his crime.
He is now in jail at Washington. We
are notinformed how suspicion first fas-
tened upon him, but after his arrest the
house at which he had been staying was
searched, and suit of clothes belonging
to him found all covered with mud which
vas not yet dry, and pair of boots with
one heel of, which was almost conclusive
evidence against him, for heel that 6t-
ted the boot nicely was picked up at the
scene of the murder. Fogle took his ar
rest quite coelly, until a chain of evil
dence was produced against him that left
him no roomJ for hope. He then con-
fessed that he was guilty Of the crime,
and that his confederate was beardless
boy, not more than nineteen years of age,
named William Montgomery, of Canton
Township. He further said that they
had the plot laid for three weeks to rob
Dinsmore.
Montgomery was arrested at Wellsburg
last Friday night. The revolver suppos-
ed to have been used in the killing Of
Mr.. Dinsmore, was found upon his per-
son, two barrels being empty.

From Mexico--The Surrender of
Canales--Liberal Cause i'm Mexi-
co Hopeful.

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, Dec 3, via New
ORLEANS, Dec. 8.-By the terms of the
surrender, Canales, with all his force, will
henceforth act with and under Escabado.
In four days the conjoined force, number
ing about 1000 will move through Mon
terey to unite with other forces on the
load for the recovery of San Luis Potosi
which, together with Durango and Zaca-
cas-, IS promised deliverance by next Jan
uary.
The concentratiye action throughout
the Republic of Mexico now promises
the speedy deliverance of Mexico. Jua-
rez moves without reference to this force.
Sherman is probably already on his
way to Durango, there to await the con.
summation of plans. Upon the recovery
of two-thirds of the State it is probable
he will urge meeting of the Republican
Congress.
The rumor here Of the progress in the
direction of Mejia, with an Imperial
force, and of a late route of Liberals on
this road under Naravajo and Teryeno, is
ridiculed by Escobado, whose information
of later date reports small fight and
victory by those Liberal chiefs, who are
now in small town about twelve miles
this side Of San Louis Potosi, awaiting
the arrival of the rest of the corps. Es-
cobado himself will stay here but few
days after his command, when leaving
behind a thoroughly pacifcated frontier
he hopes by spring to rest in the capital
Crowds of refugees throng the streets
every day since the surrender, returning
with their effects. Confidence and com.
merce under the restoration promise bet
ter life on the border.

The Fenian Misfortune.

What'a great pity it is for the Fenians
that they we're not born with blubber
lips, long heels, ebon shins, kinky hair
and the Devils own color.
If they had possessed these fastenings
upon the heart-strings of Abolition sym
pathy the Radical Rump Congress would
have declared war against England before
it had been in session long enough for
Sprague and Yates to get drunk.

Maximilian Will Not Leave the
Empire

HAVANA, Dec. S-The British mail
steamer Elder arrived here on the 9th,
with dates from Vera Cruz up to the I'd
inst, and from the City of Mexico up to
the 2Sth uls.
Maximilian has decided MOTTO abandon
the Empire. It states that the Emperor
still sacrifices himself for US, postpones
his duties as a man for those devolving
on him as ruler in those critical mo-
ments through which the country is pas
sing, and solemuly declares that he will
continue as head of the Government and
will battle without rest till the last drop
of his blood is shed for the defense of
his dear nation.
Vera Cruz journals attribute to the
anticipated arrival of Mr.. Campbell and
General Sherman, Maximilian's determi-
nation to remain and call upon the Mex
leans to support the empire to, prevent
the absorption Of the country by the
United States.
Perison and Voldez attacked Seacum-
baro, according to the Cronica, with l.
ZUO men and TOUR pieces OF artillery, but
were repulsed by the garrison, although
it consisted of but 400 men under Col,
Forquet. The Liberals retreated to the
Delforo hills.
The Liberals have made three distinct
attacks at Tulancingo demanding Its sur
render. The garrison consists of SOC
Belgians and 400 Mexicans, and has re-
pulsed every attack. General Castagner
reached Guadaljara on the 9th with l.
400 men, and was to leave on the 7th fol
Topic, it was reported under cover of the
garrison Of Maztlan, which consists oi
1000 men, and can take care of itself.
We learn from San Louis Potosi thai
the French forces there would leave on
the 22d or 22d. According to the Esta
fette, of Mexico, the Church party has
offered three million of dollars to Maxi
milan. According to the same paper

Evacuation of fAGazatIanb by the I'm
perialists.

SAN FRANsIsco, Dec. 12.--The steam-
er Continental from Mazatlan, arrived
last night. She brings particulars of
the evacuation of that place by the
Imperialists and French troops, Nov.
18th. The French feet, consisting OF
the Rhine, Marie and Talisman, appeared
off the harbor, which was the signal for
general excitement amongst the troops
and people, as it was believed General
Corona would attack the French while
embarking, and the feet in return would
she'll the city. The American Consul
volunteered his services to induce Corona
to let the French depart in peace, which
were unsuccessful, Corona having 'declar-
ed it his duty to infict as much injury as
possible. The same evening the Liber-
ais made an attack on the French lines
without effect. The next day a strong
attack was made and hard fighting took
place, the French losing heavily in men
and officers.
On the 18th the French Admiral sent
a flag of truce to Corona, the result of
which was the French was allowed to
evacuate the place. The same afternoon
the Liberals entered the city in fine style
without the least disorders and were greet
ed with great enthusiasm by the people,
