the Black Hawk war; Andrew John

a Lieutenant of Dragons, was chasing
the Indians; Seward was grieving over
Lis defeat as Governor; Breckenridge
was studying the orations of Cicero.

lege; Chase was endeavoring to gain
a law practice in Cincinnati: Sumner
was entering Boston bar; Broderick
was cutting stone; Grant was school
boy in his teens; and Farragut was
watching the honor of his flag on the
torFid coast of Brazil. snp
President Lincoln received on an
average one threatening letter per
day. Most of the cowardly missives
were intended to harrass, but many
breathed the spirit of assassination.

WOMAN HIRES TWO NEGRoEs TO MURDER nET
HUSBAND. Tho PhiIadelphia Ledger of Friday re-
lates tho following:
Late on Wednesday night, officers of the Fifth
Ward were attracted to tho house of Elias Hull,
No. Alt Gaskill-street, by cries Of murder. They
had some difficulty in effectiBg entrance, and
when they did, they discovered that attempt
had been made to murder MIR. Hull by two colorad
mon, who were concealed on the premises He
had gone down into his cellar kitchen, at tho re-
quest OF Mrs. Hull. and had been attacked by the
men, ono OF whom had hutchet and had given
him terrible blow TN the head with it. One of
them found concealed in the cellar, the other
in q closet in Mrs. Hulrs bedroom. The circum-
stances seemed to point to Mrs. Hull as having a
knowledge of the intended rime, which was tho
murder OF her husband, and she was taken into
custody.
Groen and John K"neley, after t.Iey had been re-
moved to tho fifth ward station mado n full con-
fession, in which they stated that young man
named William Barker had hired thom to put Mr.
Hull out OF tho way; that as tho job WAS
completed, and he received tho key OF the fro
proof firm them, he was t. give them eight hun
dred dollars. The facts that Barker had visited
the hous' aud had boon represented to be the
cousin OF Mrs. Hull, seem to confirm this. They
tho house, and had concealed them iii the cellar
kitchen. The young man Barker was arrested,
and, together with Mrs: Hull and the colored men,
had hearing before Alderman Butler.
Mr. Hull testified to the circumstances of the
attempt to Lake his life, and said hat whom he
went homo no found the light nearly out in the
burning; that he did not go down at first but
passed. into his bedroom and asked Mrs. Hull
what was tho matter with the lamp, to which sho
replied that it was out OF order. He then said
that he would 60 down stairs, and che followed
him down, and while b was engaged on the frat
floor she passed into the kitchen and Immediately
returned. He was about to 90 up stairs, but she
called him to 80 down and get tho lamp.
He did go down, and had just passed the vault
door whom he heard noise inside. He turned to
20 back, and the men jumped out and one of
them struck him in the head with hatchet,
Knocking him down. He was then jumped upon
and throttled, and held 80 tight that he could not
cry aloud. BY sn almost superhuman effort he
threw the men off, and ran to a window, which he
opened, and cried murder. The men then ran
and concealed themselves. Mr.. Hull further stated
that his wife had said ut the breakfast table lately
that he would bo a dead man within q month or
two AS he had kept as much as five thousand

MAMMALIAN ON CoNFIsoNTIoN.-Itis is stated that
Macmillan, by imperial decree, has oonRscate
tho estates OF Santa Anna in Mexico. This is tho
result, no doubt, OF Santa Annals bold enuncation
Of liberal sentiments in this country in regard to
Mexican affairs. But Santa Anna may have occs-
son ere long, to retaliate not only by confiscatng
the entire dominions Of the usurping Emperor,
but by levying upon his crown and other Jewels
and vaiua6les as indemnity for being 20 long de-
prived OF the benefit OF the Mexican Estates.

GAY BRIDAL PARTY.-The Richmond Times Of
Monday says:
telegram published Saturday morning an
nounced the arrest in Philadelphia of the indvi-
dual who perpetrated 80 successfully the forgery
upon the Navy and Treasury Departments, by
means of which no came in possession of $50, 600
OF Government money. His name, we now learn
Tom the Northern papers, is William Ringgold
Cooper, an acting ensign in tho navy, and quito
recently duty in the Office of Detail, Bureau OF
Navigation, Navy Department.
Since the occurrence OF the forgery every effort
had been made to discover the cuprit, and it was
tcation Of the affair, the person would succeed in
making his escaps; but it appears that he was not
IN the least afraid Of dett ction, from the manner
In which no has conducted himself, circulating
Heely among his former friends. Suspicion did
not at first rest upon Cooper, and 1t could hardly
be believed that he was the guilty person, as he
mas hitherto borne an excellent reputation and
moved IN the highest circles of Washington socie-
ty. But from the faots, it concluded that
some one in the Navy Department, well acqusint-
cd with all the details, had committed the crime
Tor none other could have succeeded in getting the
requisitiOns-necessary for the obtainment OF the
oMcers in the Navy and Treasury Departments.
Suspicion, however, finally lodged upon Cooper
and he was accordingly watohedb by the detectives
Julia Defrees, niece OF the United STATES Public
Printer. an heiress and highly accomplished
young lady, who is well known in the higher
Sarcles OF Washington society. The forger and his
bride were on their way to New York, where they
were to tako the next steamer for Europe on 4
bridal tour. The detectives followed him on the
train and concluded to arrest him upon their ar
rival in Philadelphia. He was accordingly arrest
cd ct the depot in that city. or the 100000
fraudulently obtained by him, about $57 500 was
found upon his person.

NEGRO IHDoLENoE AND NORTHERN ENTERPRISE IN
CoNaREss There are more steamships sailing be-
tweon this port and Europe at the present season
than ut any previous time, which proves that we
have trade and resources enough to koep the At
lantlc crowded highway OF steam navigation
But, singular to say, out of tile forty or more
steamers crossing the ocean only two or three are
American vessels. This is a striking commentary
Oh the action Of Congress. While they have aD-
propriatod q sum Of from seven to twelve millions
per annum to support impudent aud indoent me-
Rroes under the Freedmen's Bureau they have
not voted dollar to sustain the industry aud en-
torprise OF the white people of tho North in fitting
out steamships to carry the mails and compete
with tho owners OF foreign vessels, who carry our
profit and 10 our disgrace. It appears that Con-
Bress can recognize DO interest but that of the
negro, with the salaries OF Congressman thrown

position on the ocean, the honor Of its flag, and
all the Radicals care and yet they hope to be re-

AGAIN AT LARaE.-The man Young, who attempt
ed to rob in open daylight the Georgia National
Bank, some time ago, and was caught, tried in
the County Court, and sentenced to the chain
gang for one year, and to receive twenty eight
1ashes on tho bare back, is again at large. The
circumstance created no little excitement at tho
time, and tho nerve with which he received the
application OF the lash at the City Hall will be
mehbered by hundreds in this city. We copy
from the rMiliedgevilte Recorder the manner or
his escape. That paper says: "Tho thief who
attempted to steal, in open day, bundle or two
OF greenbacks from one of the Atlanta banks,
was caught, tried and sentenced to thirty-nine
lashns on his baro back and imprisoned q year in
the Penitentiary, made his escape from the cars
on nearing Mllledgeville on the 23d ultimo. The
cars having made short stop at Midway, he
with negro, being chained and hand-cuffed to-
gether, jumped of and escaped. They could
easily havo been brought to by revolver, but
diligence was wanted. The bank thief had had
his thrty-nine inflicted him in Atlanta, in the
presence of several hundred persons, and if we
mistake NOT, negro at the Same time was pun
ished in q like manner"

OWL. War IMMINENT IN M1ssouR1.-The St.
Louis Dispateas of the 9th ultimo, says:
We have received information from Kansas.
from sources that do not permit us to doubt the
abatement, that the ''Jayhawkers" and cred
Legs" OF that State are organizing to invade this
state, to prevent citizens from registering rs
ton for their friends the Radicals.
We had reason for suspecting: that such q
scheme as this was meditated several weeks ago:
for Lieutenant. Governor Smith, in speech at
St. Joseph, openly intimated it. We are glad to
learn that steps arc being taken to bring the mat
ter before the attention OF the President, and to
ask him TO prevent the threatened invasion of
our State. The present Governor of Missouri in.
stead OF preventing it, would perhaps, be glad to
encourage 1t. ?
One thing is certain-such an irruption would
provoke u terrible retribulioD. The people OF
Missouri arc j. no mood to see their brethren of
che border counties made the victims of another
1ayhawker invasion and will assuredly not sit idle
while the scenes OF 1868 A, in Jackson and Cass
sas keep his Red Legs j, home.
