"YERY sTRONG.,,

From the New York Times, Sept 10. =.
81 Our readers viii understand what a nice
paper the Bloomington {Ill) Paragraph
must be to have in the house when they
read the opening sentences of an article it
publishes in favor of impeachment
{" Solomon said there was nothing new
under the sun. But he wrote that before
America was discovered, Buchanan was
President, or johnson was carried by the
force of thimbleful of gunpowder into the
Presidential chair to take up and carry out
that old williams policy before Greeley
went bail for the blacklist traitor and
blOodiest wretch that ever went unwhipped
of justice, not even excepting that old chap
himself Of the turpentine region, the only
angel with caudal appendage ever read
of. Papers and Congressman
that were the most factitiously opposed to
Impeachment when Congress was together
and it was NEST needed to forward recon
struction, as well as to give the drunken
rowdy some of his desserts, are now the
loudest for it."
The PdatagrapA evidently regards this
sort Of thing as very strong; for it continues
in the same strain at great length. The
Bloomington people also must admire it
strongly, or it would not be furnished them
in such quantity. To controVert these
ideas of It's yigor and value would be alb
surd. We therefore pronounce this style
of writing to be not only very delectable
and very affecting, but also very strong.

A KENTUCKY HORROR.
An Innocent Babe Killed by Negro
Servant Girl.


Servant Girl.
From the New Albany Ledger Sept. 10,
A gentleman who returned on yesterday
from visit to Kentucky, gives the follow
ing particulars of terrible tragedy enact
ed near Newcastle, Henry county, on Thurs
day last The victim of the cold-blooded
affair was an innocent little babe Of three
years child Of Mr.. William Graves, a well
known and highly respected citizen of that
county, and the destroyer was a negro ser
want girl who had been living in the fami-
IL several years. On the day mentioned,
while Mrs. Graves was attending to some
domestic duties, the servant girl took the
child from the house 10 a tobacco patch in
the rear of the stable, and about one hun
dred and City yards from the house. Here
it appears, from her own confession, she
made the child lay down on the ground, and
after crossing its hands on Its breast, and
making it bid its pa and ma good bye, the
fend seized a stone and crushed its head
almost TO a Jelly She then seized it
by the ankle and dragged it over the
stubble 10 some thick underground, where it
was concealed from human view. A few
moments after this the mother missed the
NIlliu, anu Adll Ohl W NCdlCA AOh IL 1AAA AA1
girl denied knowing anything about the
child, saying it must be in the house. The
premises were thoroughly searched by the
almost frantic mother, while every thought
Of spot about the place was examined by
Mr.. Graves, and several neighbors who
Joined him in the search. All efforts to in
duce the girl to tel the whereabouts of the
child proved of no avail. At last one gen.
tleman, while searching, discovered her
slipping away, and after a sharp chase she
was caught, and by the most violent threats
was induced to lead them TO the spot where
the murder had been committed. There, in
the bushes, the child was found, and al
though il had been three hours since the
commission Of the deed, itgasped twice after
being taken out. The back of the head
was horribly battered, and the back was
terribly lacerated, where it had been
dragged over the stuble to the place of con-
cealment
The entire neighborhood were highly
excited at the murder, and threats of lynch-
ing were freely uttered However, better
counsels prevailed, and the girl was taken
to New Castle and arraigned in the Circuit
Court now in session, for murder in the
first degree. She was convicted by the
Jury of the crime as charged, but up to yes
terday the Judge had not passed sentence.
1t is the opinion of our informant that she
will be hung.
1t was developed on the trial that this
was the third child she had killed, two
white and one colored. The murder ofthe
colored child occurred a short time ago, and
the deed was done in such a manner, that
no one at the time suspected that a murder
had been committed. The child had been
held with its feet up, until a rush of blood
TO the head caused death to relieve it from
its suffering. The only cause assigned by
the girl for the last murder was because
she felt mad at her mistress, Mrs. Graves.
We were unable to learn the name OF the
murderer.

THE HENDERSON AND NASHVILLE
RAILROAD.

From the Louisville Courier. Sept. u
Gen. T. J. Boyle, the very active and
efficient President of this road, has Just re-
turned from New York, where he purchased
sufficient iron 10 make about thirteen miles
of road. This iron will make track from
the State line to Pembroke, in Christian
county. Gen. Boyle has also contracted for
enough iron 10 lay the track from Pembroke
to Hopkinsville, and it Is his intention to
have the latter placein railroad connection
with Louisville during the present year
an event upon which we congratulate the
mary readers of the Courier in that sec
ton.
Gen. Boyle has already laid down and
has purchased sufficient iron to lay down
seven miles of the road from Henderson
out. and has already on the track there q
locomotive and six cars. tie has also made
a contract for an additional one Thousand
tons Of iron, and has the highest hopes OF
the success Of his grand enterprise. II the
people sustain Gen. b., rs they should, and
their own interests prompt, and,aid him by
becoming liberal purchasers Of their own
county bonds, which they know 70 be the
best securities in the market, this impor-
tant road will progress rapidly to compile
ton, instead Of strugglingon slowly through
q long series Of wears.

AN apt and literal illustration of the old
adage that lazy people take the most pains,
is recorded in an English paper. 1t was
simply the explosion of hot water bottle,
but as it resulted in the death of one per-
son, and the serious injury of several 9th
ers, il was considered of sufficient import
ance to be reported by the engineers Of the
Manchester Boiler Association. The bottle
was of earthenware and had been used
filed with hot water, to warm sick bed
When it was cold, instead of taking the
trouble to unite the wa1ed cord which
bound the cork and reflling it with hot
water, the attendants put it into the oven
to be heated In short time the bottle
exploded, the oven door was torn off and
fragments Of ircn and pottery were thrown
into the room with such violence as 10
wound three persons, one dying the next
day. This incident not only carries 8 di-
rect lesson in regard TO hot water bottles,
but showing a violent explosion from the
slow and gradual accumulation of steam
pressure, gives warning that household
boilers, to be free from danger, should be
fitted with either movable covers or safety
valves, to relieve the imperceptible but ez-
cessiye pressure so likely to accumulate.

dock as she started on a journey to see some
friends; some hours after, in the privacy
of her stateroom, she found leisure to eK-
anime paper her husband had handed
her at the last minute, and discovered it to
be a copy of a decree of divorce rendered
by an Illinois Judge. Before the steam
boat had been six hours gone, her late hus-
band had married another woman. Num-
bers of these confidential divorces are OBJ

AMERICAN LINEN.

The New York Journal Of Commerce Of
the 10th says:
We examined on Saturday some speci-
mems of goods manufactured from the raw
or unrotted fax, which will unquestion~
ably create no little interest in the com
mercial world. The inventor claims that
he can produce any kind of coarse or fine
linens, cordage, etc, at a very much less
price than cotton could be manufactured
for within the past ten years. The cost Of
raising cotton is very great and the crop Is
not always certain, whereas fax is nearly
as certain IA grass.

The Governors Of Illinois, Missouri.

The Governors of Illinois, Missouri.
Michigan and Others in Caueus.
The Washington Express says that on
Thursday last Governors Ogleby, Of Illi-
nois, Fletcher, Of Missouri, and Grape, Of
Michigan, held an interview in the city of
Chicago with Messrs. Yates, Logan, Judd,
BromWell, Terry and other members of
Congress who agreed in the policy of in
viting the Republican Governors TO hold
council similar TO that which met at Al
tooha in 1862. The time spoken Of was
from the Doth of September to October LIST,
and the place Chicago, Washington or
Philadelphia. The object Of the meeting
is said TO be to concert measures for the inn
pending campaign, in view of the altered
condition of public affairs.
Remarking upon this the National
hntelJigeseer says
We have had in our history seveEalreEo-
lutionary conclaves in the N0rthkof Gov
errors or others. The odious Hartford Con-
was, perhaps, the first. 1t contemplated the
separation by force Of New England from
the other States. There was, we have heard,
a secret gathering Of Governors of the
North before the outbreak of our late ter
ribly disastrous civil war, where, it is I'M
derstood, ''blood-letting7 was the approved
policy. There was meeting of Governors
at Altoona, which was equally as treache~
rous in its nature and quality as was the
conclave Of United States Senators that
undertook to menace and terrorize Mr.. Lin
coin against Mr.. Seward, upon the ground
the the latter was too moderate and conser-
vative in his views concerning the South
The secret conclave Of few leading Sena-
tors and Representatives, termed the "Star-
Chamber conspirators," was essentially a
usnrping and revolutionary organization.
Its acts were in darkness. The result of an
infamous incubation of more than half
year was tyrannical and cruel proscriptive"
ness in hostility to the Lincoln-Johnson
policy Of restoration. We are Indifferent to
the point whether the present Radical
Governors, under the inspirings Of bad
men, meet or not, except as the national
honor may be affected by such things.

The Presidency-Chasc Grant
and Wade.

The radical papers are discussing the
question of the next nomination for the
Presidency, and canvassing the merits of
their representative men freely Thre is
not doubt btt that the Anti-Slavery
Standard speaks the sentiments of nine
tenths of the radicals, in the subjoined ex4
tract; especially does it do SO in the case of
Grant. 1t says:
Mr. Chase's mania for the Presidential
office is a melancholy exhibition Of which
we have had many painful examples among
our public men. Notwithstanding the ac-
tivity of his friends, and the wealth of the
bank interests pledged to his support, we
tell him plainly that he has not the ghost
of a chance. He has no popular strength
whatever. The mention of his name
makes not single ripple of feeling or en-
thusiasm in any quarter. Why will he
not save himself from inevitable mortif-
cation and disgrace by refusing longer to
draggle the robes of his high office in the
mire of caucuses and conventions?
The Grant faction, led by Henry Will
son, is just now in the ascendant, and they
confidently expect to dragoon the radical
Republicans into his support by the old
cry of expediency, and the permanent i'm.
portance of success. These are the same
tactics that saddled US with Andrew John
son; and We give these gentlemen fair
warning that we shall fight that nominal
tion to the last e1tremity. The cause of
liberty in this country is not to be sold out
twice On the same plan without a deter
mined struggle The Republican party
has few statesmen, any one Of whom, on
a radical platform, would be unobjection-
able, and would receive our hearty sup
port. Prominent among these is Old Ben.
Wade We are not, however, welded to
the interests of any candidate, but the at
tempt to crowd down our throats man of
doubtful eeneralship and unknown prln-
ciples will be resisted with every weapon
that we can command
