TERRIBLE MYSTERY. We have been
aware for the past week that some mystery
was attached to the movements OF a we'll
known and highly respectable citizen of
Columbus, Gen.. Henry Wilson, but have
refrained from making any mention of the
matter for prudential reasons. The Gin
cinnati papers, of yesterday, however, con-
tanned tile articles we publish below The
greatest anxiety and alarm is felt by his
family at This strange absence, and the worst
is feared, If it were known in Cincinnati
that he2had so large q sum of money in his
possession there is no doubt but there are
plenty of men there who would not .hesi-
tate to murder him for it >s-1ruat s57ao
The Enquirer has the following :ssl 4s9 -
Henry Wilson, Esq, well-known citi-
zen of Columbus, and a son-in-law of the
Hon. Samuel Medary, disappeared from
this city ina mysterious manner on Mon
day, the 28th ult., and undercircumstances
to lead to suspicion of violence. He had
been staying for several days at the Burnet
House, and from a communication ad-'
dressed to his family it is thought he was
to receive considerable sum of money.
He was last seen on Monday evening; and
his absence from the hotel had excited no
remark until inquiries for him had been
made by his family, who expected him home
on Tuesday. On examination his portman-
teau and extra clothing were found in the
room he had occupied, ir such shape as
parture; but no clue to the cause of his sud-
den and strange gedisappearance. Thus far, in
spite of the eXertiOns that have been made
by the friends of Mr.. Wilson and the po-
lice, nothing has been discovered; and in the
hope of obtaining some key to the mystic
~, the circumstances are new made public.
Mr.Wilson is fifty-three to tifty-tive years of
age, is about five feet tn inches in height,
square built, and partly OF q forid COM
plexion, with hair and beard quite gray.
Any information that any person may pos
sess relative to his transactions in the city,
or calculated to lead to a knowledge of the
cause of his absence, addressed to Richard
Nevins, Esq, Columbus, or communicated
to the police here, will be gratefully re-
ceived.
The Commercial says:
On the 23d of May, General Henry c.
Wilson, well known and much respected
citizen of Columbus, came to thisTcity,
stopped at the Burnet House, and regis
tered himself as from home." He came
for the purpose, we understand, of col
lectiug moneys--S3.000 in the total, with
which to raisea mortgage upon, some oi
his property. On Tuesday, ,ot lastweek, he
was expected home'bys his family in Co;
lumbus. But, instead of him there came a
letter, in his hand writing, stating
that he had been successful 10 busiT
ness negotiation, and would be de-

Fourth street, on Vine, after having taken
his dinner at the Burnet House. And this

anxious Inquiries after him. He was tt
have gone to Louisville. that very day, ir
company with Mr.. Steele, of that city, but
failedt make his appearance in time fol
the boat. Upon last leaving his room at the
Burnet House he made no Preparations fol
q departure from the city. His baggage
was found there as he had left it. He gave
no intimation to any OF his acquaintance
as to any intention to leave the house OF
city. Thus his disappearance is a smatter
of complete mystery-iood for most pain
full surmise-to his family. There il
some fear that he may have met with fou
play.
The Gazette remarks as follows:
Gen. Henry G. Wilson, a well-known cit
izen of Columbus, who was staying at the
Burnet House, in this city, on Monday
May %, has not been hearu of since thai
evening. After trying in vain to find any
clue, his friends take this method of an
nouncing his disappearance, in the hope
that it may lead to some intelligence. On
Monday he wrote to his wife that he was tc
receive several thousand dollars on tina
evening, and would be home on Tuesday
1t is not known from whom he was t
receive the money. nor whether he received
it. His baggage was lett in his room at tn
Burnet House, as if he had gone out tenn
porarily. No trace OF him has been fount
since seven o'clock Monday evening. 70
DAN RIcE's GREAT SHow.-The coming
of Dan Rice, as announced through ou
columns, and by the huge and festively ga
posters, decorating every street, is, as W
anticipated, looked forward to with in
creasing interest, and reference to him an
his Great Show has, for the nonce, super
ceded all other established introductions
conversation. Dams permanent and wide
spread popularity is referable to the fac
that he has ever labored to present an ex
hibition superior to anything else of it
class, both in variety and unexceptionabl
manner of introduction, and superintend
it himself, with an ability, energy and dis
elimination that would insure success i
any pursuit.
| His exhibition this season, we gathe
from our exchanges, meets all these re
quirements,. and is rendered additional
attractive by Dams temperance as bot
Director and Clown. In the latter charaC
ter he never had, and probably never wi
have, ar equal. His original and peculis
wit, racy humor, and, so to speak, persons
magnetism, have individualized the rol
and invested it with character and repu
markedly contrasting with the flat, stal
and Improbable bufoonery inflicted upo
circus patrons year after year.
Dan infuses his spirit into everythin
pertaining to his exhibition. There are 1
