and at the ,ame time informing me
that neither yourself nor your friends
would pay their debts to the firm as
they matured, has been received
The intention not to pay seems to be
universal in the South, aggregated
by tho assurance in your case that 1t
does not arise from inability; but,
whatever may be your determination
or that of others at the South, it
shall not change my course. All that
| have of position and wealth l owe
to the free institutions OF the United
States, under which, in common with
all others North and South, protec-
ton to life, liberty and property
have been enjoyed in the fullest man
ner. The Government to which
these blessings are due calls on her
citizens to protect the capital of tho
Union from threatened assault, and

fer has not in terms been made by

Murder VIII Out.

The following account Of a mysterious
murder, committed seventeen years ago, and
the recent discovery of the murderer, Is given
by the London Daily Netrs. 1t would furnish
a wonderful theme for elaboration as q SEN
sational novel Of the period:
The lapse Of seventeen years and half has
not erased from the recollection Of the inhab-
itants Of the city OF Norwich the frightfnl
sensation which they experienced In the year
Of the Great Exhibition. On saturday, the
2lst OF June, 1851, young man named John
son was out walking In a lane about mile
from Norwich, accompanied by his dog. The
dog was ranging q neighboriDg plantation
and found there piece Of carrion, which he
brought out on the road, and with which he
Immediately ran home. On Johnson's arri-
val al home, he was horrifled to see that the
piece OF flesh the animal had found was a
human hand. He at once gave notice 10 the
police, and the plantation was thoroughly
searched, and several other pieces Of desh
were found Next day foot was found IN
the plantation, and some Of the vertebre were
discovered hidden In a sawpit A black
striped waistcoat, some cotton waste, such
as Is used IN cleaning machinery. but
smeared with blood, and a roller, such as Is
used BY the Norwich weavers, were also
found
On succeeding days, other parts were dis
eovered-nOy 10 a field on one side Of the
town, then in an entirely opposite direction.
At length the whole district was searched.
the rivers were dragged, and small pieces Of
human hesh, evidently carved in slices from
body, were found almost everywhere.
Eight days after the first discovery, portions
Of the Fiscera were found In q sewer, cut M
into pieces three inches long; the pelris bad

ed up, and black velvet bonnef which had
evidently been the property Of a person IN
respectable circumstances, found in the Yare.
On one occasion parts Of the body were found
in spots which had previously been carefully
searched-and Il was evident that they had
been placed there since the first discovery.
Some Of the pieces had been soaked IN water:
traces Of deodorizing liquid were found IN 9TH
ers, and, though 10 part Of the body could
be restored sufficiently to allow Of an inquest
being held, many Of the scattered parfs thus
brought together again fitted sufficiently 10
