The Mower MysrERy--Thc mystc.
rry which has SO long hung over the
fate of Morgan in New York, seems
likely to be cqualled, if not surpassed
by the wonderful contradictions and
varieties which tho mower TRACED y
seems destined to assume. We now
hear that the free negro sheet in the
city, called the Repul lican, has come
ont with long article, denouncing MS
with falsehood in the whole transac-
tion, and stating positively that Gen.
eral Mower was not married, and
never had been married III
A statement to the same effect has
appeared in one of tho Now York pa-
pers.
In the namc Of Heaven, then, who
was it last winter passed as Mrs.
Mower in New Orleans and what qvas

CHASE AND TIIs DAUaHrER.
The New York correspon-
dent Of the Charleston Com'lor
has this bit Of gossip:
"Those who have attentively
listend to Wendell Phillips,
during the recent meeting Of
Anti-Slavery Society, held in
this city, will remember that he
limited at the possibility Of the
Impeachment failure, and that a
woman would be the cause Of
it all. Now, people do not
generally suspect, and still it is
a well known fact, that Mrs.
Senator Sprague has, from the
very start, embraced the cause
of the President, and~prevailed
upon her father to act in his
high capacity with sole re-
gard to justice and law, irres-
pective Of party ties. The
lady's great capacity, her win
nlng manners, her thorough
acquaintance with the poll.
teal situation, have, on many
occasions, sorpiscd men occu~
pying prominent positions in
Washington, and often she has
succeeded in coming out victori-
ons from private political discus
sions in which she participated.
or course with Mr.. Chases
standing ambition to occupy
the first office in the land, it was
not difficult for l,in to heed the
advice Of his gifted daughter,
and the result shows that thus
far she has been successful.
There IS no moro popular man
III the land today than Chief
Justice Chase, who, Ny follow
ing the true course of justice,
regardless Of party, is urged by
those previously opposed to him
for the Presidential nomination.
If, then, this coup @ etut, SO
well organized by Mrs. Spraguc
at her Washington parties,
where Democratic leaders are
among the visitors, leads to a
successful issue, woman once
moro will have saved the State.
Cavour, it is said, won Napo-

ONE OF THE ELEcr CONES TO
GRlEr.-Wc learn by a private letter
from Camden that the politician of
that section, the Hon. (?) George
Washington Solomon Dill, member
elect to the Legislature, was in that
town on the I'd inst, exhorting the
Rads to rally round the polls. His
efforts were crowned with succass, the
party was triumphant, and the illustri-
Gus Sol retired to his home across the
river. News was received in Camden
on the 9th that fracas had occurred
the previous night, and Dill and two
negroes were killed, Mrs. Dill and one
negro being wounded The report
caused considerable excitement in
that quiet community, as although
Dill was not held in the highest es.
teen by the whites or even by his
own party, it was the first disturbance
that has occurred in that section.
Magistrate Witherspoon (acting coro-
ner), Sheriff Sill, several gentlemen
and large number Of negroes went
across the river on the 5th, but had
not returned at the closing Of the mail,
and no further particulars are known.
Dlll fooled many negroes witt, the
