MURDER IN BoTEToURT "A letter from
Fincastle, dated, September l, gives US the
particulars of murder, committed at Clover
Dale Mills, in Botetourt county. 1t appears
that, young j. W. Bates formerly Chief
Clerk at Gen Lees Headquarters was clerk
ing for man named Campert, who keeps store
at the Mills Last Thursday Bates seemed to
have more money than usual, and Campert
asked him where he got, Bates replied that
he won it from man named George lIanghorn,
who lived near there Langhorn hearing OF
what Bates said, went at once to Campcrt' s
store, where he found Bates asleep on the
counter. lie struck him while asleep pulled
him off the counter and kicked bin senseless.
Bates expired IN 80 minutes There were live
full grown men who witnessed the murder. and
did not interfere for tear ofthc bully Langhnrn
He is in iaii, to await trial. StaunfOn lnV
The Baltimore Gazette very pertlneaty le-
marks: The present congregation OF po'itl-
clans at Philadelphia has done service to the
country in giving it ample notice of the purpo-
ses of the radical party. That its policy, II
successfully carried out, will result in tie utter
and immediate ruin Of the South, and in the
downfall of republican institutions on this con-
tiueUt is plainly manifest, The people can see
now the inminency and magnitude Of the peril
that threatens them. Upon the way in which
they deal with it depends, we believe, the
existence of our present form Of government. -
The election in Vermont on Tuesday result.
cb, as usual, in the success of the republicans.
Their majority for Governor is said to BE about
5000 more than last year. They carry al the
State Senators, and have so majority i'll the
House. Two republican members of Congress
are elected, while in the other district where
there were three candidates, no choice was
made, as it requires a majority TO elect, instead
OF plurality. At the next trial plurality OF
votes decides the contest in the district.
