MURDER OF AN OLD LADY.-We have Just
been apprised of the murder of an old lady,
aged between seyenty-fve and eighty years,
known as Patsy Mills, by five negroes. From
what we can giean it appears that Mrs. Mills.
who has resided on the Leesburg pike, some ten
miles distant from Georgetown, for a number
OF years, having lost her husband about twenty
years since, has been pursuing the business of
cultIvating market truck, in connection with
her SON. The old lady and the son Were
in the habit of coming 10 Washington and
Georgetown TO dispose of their product, and
being known as frugal people. ii was sup
posed that considerable had been accumulated
by tins means. number of negroes in the To-
cality, knowing these facts, proceeded to the
residence of Mrs. Mills, on the Leesburg pike
one night last week, and brutally murdered
her, besides severely inyIrng an old lady who
was sojonrning in the house at the time. The
son was sound asleep at tn time and knew no.
thing OF the horrible affair until the mex morn.
ing The Virginia authorities the next day ar
rested five notorious negroes of the nelghbor-
hood on suspicion, who were committed to the
Fairfax county Jail. Ii was ascertained that a
considerable amount of money had been taken
away, which was doubtless the incentive to the
murder.-RepubIican.

CURE FOR WHooPISG CoUGH-Physicians
in Hartford, Conn, have adopted with marked
success new method of treatment for curing
children afflicted with whooping cough. The
juvenile patients are taken tour of inspec-

engaged in witnessing the various processes EN-.
ployed in manufacturing their evenings artif-
cial-ilumination supply, they breathe the not
very pleasant air of the gas house. In some
way, not very clearly understood, the inhaling
Of this air is found to cure or greatly alleviate
the complaint. This ingenious method Of bens-

place, the people at the ga. works assertin. that
during the last twelve months no less than
three hundred cases have been experimental
upon, the results, generally, being of most

all the public schools, including seminaries,
academies &C., will pass into the hands of the
supervisors trustees, teachers, &c., provided
by the constitution, those who will not send
their children to mixed schools must either
send them out of the State or employ teachers
Tor them IN their tamilie.. 1t is also provided
that the ..Board of Education shall provide
for uniformity of text books That is in ad-
dition to New England teachers, we must
have IN our schools no other books than those
that inculcate the peculiar ideas and doctrines
of the yankee book makers, which are opposed
to all our notions, socially morally, and po-
lHieally. The rich can avoid the enormous
evils attendant upon such a system Of educa
ton, but the poor cannot; they cannot send
their children away, nor will they be permitted
to 'grow up in ignorance and vagrancy" If
possible, the poor will suffer more from the
ratification Of this wicked provision than the
rich
The test oath, negro suffrage, and other alb
horrent features ofthis constitution, were ably
and satisfactorily discussed by Col Withers
which we have not room to refer to particu>
larly now.
Maj. Wright followed in brief but peril
nent and telling address. He said that max
ing constitution for a free and intelligent
people was like making SPIDERS web As
hat cunning little architect spins its web
from its OWL body, so must constitution en-
anate from the body of the people, embodying
their views and sentiments, their life and very
being. No one except EIRGINIANs, whose
interests were involved. could make a consti
ton for Virginia. Only one third Of the late
convention represented the sentiment and in
terests of Virginia, and that one-third were
powerless for good. 1t is no wonder, there
fore, that he dastardly work ofthat body is
repugnant to orr views and destructive of our
interests Its trainers had not only no sym
pathy with us, but were moved by every con
siderati0n that could actuate set of exotics
ignorant of the wants of the community and
seeking only the advancement of the interest
of their party. 1t is the duty of every Vir-
ginian. therefore, to use all legitimate means
to secure the defeat Of this constitution.
Maj. W. concluded by dissecting letter of
j. II. Bolts. written by him to a political
friend Of his in Winchester in which he said
the constitution framed by the negro carpet
bag scallawag convention was superior ia all
its parts to any ever heretofore adopted by
Virginia-superior TO anything that ever EN-
anated from Madison, Mason, jefferson, Mar
shall, or any of their contemporaries He made
many happy hits at this monstrous declaration
of Bolts, which we h ave not the space to
notice.
The addresses elected frequent applause
from the large audience, which shows that they
were W ell conceived and to the point. Such
discussions opening the eyes of the peo-
pie and viii tell when the people shall be
permitted to vote on the ratification rejec
ton of the constitution.
